Along with Blake Griffin, JaVale McGee and Brandon Jennings (<wtf?)

One guy that plays for OKC and one that's from OKC. Nice oklahoman dunk contest

Sweet - I remember seeing a youtube of him dunking from the free throw line in the spanish league dunk or something. Should be exciting!

Three big men and one midget point guard trying to become the next Nate Robinson. Horrible lineup.


I wonder if guys like Wilson Chandler, Jeff Green, Paul George, Chase Budinger, Rudy Gay, Bill Walker, John Wall, Derrick Rose etc. got an invitation and declined.

I know Ibaka and McGee can get up but watching big guys is just not the same as watching little guys get up.

I'm not thrilled with the line up.

I guess we will get a chance to see how creative Ibaka is. But I don't like his chances.

To me Serge is a great in game dunker him with the ball and just the rim might leave a lot of fans unimpressed.

Agree with wiff. I don't think Ibaka has the kind of coordination to do fancy dunks. On our team alone I would have preferred Westbrook or even Jeff Green over Ibaka.

I'm eager to see McGee.

Since we are talking All-Star weekend and our forum has six guys, I'll just slightly hi-jack the thread a bit.

Who is in All-Star weekend?

Are Serge and Harden going to represent the Sophomores? I think so.

Durant will obviously be an All-Star, I think Westbrook makes it too.

I think Westbrook will be in the skills challenge and Durant will be in the game of horse again.

All and all that would be a nice representation. My only doubt would be Harden but he compares pretty well to his classmates. Although he is 10th in PTS/REBS/ASTS.

1 Curry
2 Jennings
3 Reke
4 Holiday
5 Collison
6 Matthews
7 DeRozan
8 Lawson
9 Ibaka
10 Harden

Ibaka is the only big that is in the top ten. So Harden's chances aren't so great unless he wants to play SF.
